Background
Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Council (MAFMC); Public Hearings
The Council has initiated an
amendment to the Atlantic Mackerel,
Squid, and Butterfish FMP in order to
minimize the impacts of fishing gear on
deep sea corals in the mid-Atlantic. The
Council has approved a range of
alternatives proposing designation of
deep sea coral protection zones, under
the discretionary authority described in
section 303(b)(2)(b) of the reauthorized
Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). These
zones would consist of areas where use
of certain gear types (all bottom-tending
gear or all mobile bottom-tending gear)
would be restricted in order to protect
deep sea corals from physical damage
caused by fishing gear. Although this
action is being taken through the
Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish
FMP, these measures could apply to any
federally regulated fishing activity
occurring within the proposed areas in
the Mid-Atlantic Council region.
Additionally, this amendment proposes
to modify the framework provisions of
the FMP and require Vessel Monitoring
